Badal categorically said that none of the Congress Chief Ministers have ever bothered to visit the villages in the state due to which they were absolutely unaware about the woes faced by the populace living in these areas. On the other hand, he said that the SAD-BJP government has started a flagship program of Sangat Darshan to redress the grievances of the people in a time bound manner.
